Description
Easy recipe for moist and delicious banana muffins loaded with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the mashed bananas until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if preferred.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
